Detailed Solution

Glucagon reduces the cellular glucose uptake and utilisation. Thus, glucagon is a hyperglycemic hormone. Glucagon acts mainly on the liver cells and stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in an increased blood sugar (hyperglycemia). In addition, this hormone stimulates the process of gluconeogenesis which also contributes to hyperglycemia.

Insulin promotes cellular glucose uptake and utilisation.

Calcitonin and melatonin do not specifically influence cellular glucose uptake and utilisation.
